Bengaluru Stampede: Kumaraswamy urges CM to fire Shivakumar
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Union Heavy Industries & Steel Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Wednesday alleged that Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar was responsible for the tragic stampede near the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru that claimed the lives of 11 cricket a late-night press conference at his official residence in New Delhi, the Union Minister urged chief minister Siddaramaiah to sack Shivakumar holding him responsible for the criticized the current government in Karnataka as being run by "arrogant fools" and added, 'It pains me to say this, but we have a Chief Minister who is completely inactive. He has no control over the Deputy CM. As for the Home Minister, there's no point even discussing, he merely obeys commands. If told to sit, he sits; if told to stand, he stands.'Referring to the government's felicitation event near Vidhana Soudha, Kumaraswamy said, 'While four people lay dead in a stampede near the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Shivakumar continued with the felicitation ceremony as if nothing had happened. How else do you describe such a government other than calling it an arrogant one?'Kumaraswamy expressed dismay over the state's haste in organizing a felicitation: 'On Tuesday night, the team won the IPL trophy. What was the rush to organize a felicitation event immediately? Who invited the team? Why this urgency? Everyone knows the role the Deputy CM played in all this,' he lashed out.'Why hold two separate events? One program, well-organized with proper preparation, would have been enough. There should have been appropriate security and caution. Instead, everything was rushed simply to glorify himself. As a result of this recklessness, sports fans lost their lives,' he criticized the Dy CM's conduct at the stadium, saying:'After his show at Vidhana Soudha, the DCM reached the stadium. Right outside the stadium lay the bodies of the deceased. Rather than stopping the event, he walked into the ground, lifted the trophy, and kissed it. Did he play the match and win the cup himself? Perhaps even the players didn't get the opportunity to touch the trophy. In the midst of deaths, he used RCB's win for his own PR and self-glorification.''This kind of recklessness cannot be tolerated. If the Chief Minister truly has any strength, courage, or leadership, he should start by removing such a person from his cabinet,' the Union Minister demanded.

IPL 2025: List Of Major Trophies Won By Virat Kohli In His Illustrious Career
Last Updated: Virat Kohli, ace India and RCB batter, finally won the IPL title, completing his collection of major cricket trophies. Ace India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter Virat Kohli won the coveted Indian Premier League title on Tuesday, to fill a cabinet that has the biggest titles in the world. Other than the World Test Championship final, Kohli has now won all the big titles and would definitely strive for a few more, as he goes through the fag end of his career. We take a look at the major trophies that Kohli has won in his illustrious career: ODI World Cup: A 22-year-old Kohli won the title back in 2011, when he was just three years into his international career. He scored 282 runs in nine matches in that tournament, at an average of 35.25 and with a hundred to his name, which came in India's opening game. He played three more ODI World Cups over the years and finished as semifinalists twice and runners-up once. T20 World Cup: This title took years to come for Kohli, and when it did, he hung up his boots from the format. The final of the 2024 edition of the tournament saw him play a match-winning knock against South Africa in Barbados as he took India to safety after an early collapse. India's first T20 World Cup title had come back in 2007, a year before Kohli's international debut, and after failing in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2021 and 2022, he finally won it last year. Champions Trophy: This is the only ICC trophy that Kohli has won twice. He won it first back in 2013, as a 24-year-old, and this triumph remained India's biggest win till last year's T20 World Cup. In 2025, as the most experienced player of the batch, he won the title again, beating arch-rivals New Zealand in the final. IPL Trophy: While it probably wouldn't rank anywhere above the aforementioned, this eluded Kohli for the longest time. 'As far as the IPL trophy is concerned, you've made me wait 18 years to be able to lift it and celebrate my friend, but it's been worth the wait," Kohli wrote on Instagram on Wednesday. It took a mammoth effort from everyone in the RCB franchise to finally hand the star batter the coveted title. First Published: June 04, 2025, 12:45 IST
